assignor to Detroit Steel Products Company, Detroit, Mich., a cory orationofivlichi l li iation The invention relates to window constructions andrefers more particularly to window constructions havingoutwardly opening sashes and provided with screens inside" the sashes. One of the objects of the invention isJto provide an improved practical window construction of this type in which the screen is'movable outwardly after the sash is opened, so that the shades, draperies, and so forth,.at the inside of the winsash may be readily accessible fromlthe' inside for cleaning and so forth. .Other objects are'to so mount the screen that one of its edges may be secured to the frame of the window construction and may be moved laterally thereof; 'to effectively weather strip thejoint between the frame and sash;v to, construct the screen with weather stripping. means" for the jointyand to construct the guiding means for the screen'with weather stripping means for the joint. 7 c a These and other objectsof the invention .will ,become apparent from the following description, taken I in connection with: the accompanying drawings, in which" 5 Figure lis aninside elevation of a window construction showing an embodiment of my invention; I q I a; q Figures 2 and' 3 are cross sections'on thelines 2-2 and 3-3, respectively, of Figure 1; j Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3, showing the sash and screenin openv positions; r Figure 5 is a-view similartoj Figure 3, showing another embodiment of my invention;

Figure 6 is a-view similar to Figure 5,-showing another embodiment of-gmy invention; I Figure 7 is aview similar to Figure 2, showing another embodiment of my invention. Y The invention is particularly applicable to casement windows which comprisethe metallic 40 skeleton frame 1 adapted to be suitably anchored in the sill and the metallicskeleton sash or sashes 2 mounted on the frame. shownflinFigures -1 and 3, the casement window isr ofr-the-double ventilator type'in which each sash is pivotally mounted upon the frame by the hinges 3 to swing horizontally outwardly to open position. The frame comprises the bars, 4,-each of which has themain or'outer flanged portion 5 andtheinner flanged orL-shaped portion 6 integral therewith and atthe inside thereof..- -Thei.main orouter flangedportion specifically has the oppositely directed lateral flanges 7 and '7', respectively," at the inner and outer edgesof its web 8,,sothat the main or,-;outer*portion isZ-shaped. wThe sash comprises the flanged barsl; 9,;each.,ofi which dow construction need not'be disturbed and the January8, 1932, Serial No. 585,605 12 claimsr" 01. 189-69) specifically also has the oppositely directed lateral flanges 10 and 10 at the inner and outer edges of its web 11, so that each bar 9 is Z-shaped; The flanges 7 and '7 of the main portion 5 of thebars 4 and the flanges 10 and 10' of the bars 9 form cooperating inner and outer'weathering portions, which in the closedpositionof the sash are'adapted to; overlap andform joints,

. Each sash is adapted to'be opened and-closed from inside the casement window by suitable means such as the operator 12, whichis mounted on and movable relativeto the bottom or' sill bar :4Yof the frame and is operatively' connected to the'bottom' bar 9 ofthe sash; Each sash may also be locked in closed position by suitable means, suchia's the fastener 13 having a shank extending through the inside fiangeof the dividing or middle bar 14 of the frameandprovided with the cam 15 for engaging a shoulder upon the adjacent side bar of th'esash. This shoulder mayibe formed either by the bafile 16 of this side bar or by the keeper member 17 secured to'this side bar. The fastener shank clears the L-shaped portion 6 of the dividing or'middle bar. As shown inFigures l, 2, 3: and 4, 18 the screen which is mounted upon the frame 1 inside the sashz2,when in closed position. f This screen hasingthe. present instance the metallictframe '19,;andthe' screen mesh 20 andvit'is mounted on and overlaps the L-shaped portions 6 ofthe bars forming. the frame 1. The screen is pivotally connected to the frame at itsedge adjacent; to the hinges 3 pivotally connecting the "sash toxthe frame, so that the screenn may. be opened by swinging thesame outwardly. In detail,-"21"are vertically headed pins in axial alignment extendingupwardly and downwardly from the upper and lower bars 19 of the screen frame near their ends adjacent the hinges 3. The heads of these pins slidably engage the metallic guides 22 which are secured to the-horizontally extending portions of the L-shaped portions 6. These guides extend longitudinally, ofthese horizontallyexe' I tending portions a sufiicient, distance such that they provide for sulficientmovement of the piv otecl edge of the: screen laterally of. the frame, so that the screen may, as shown particularly in Figure 4, occupy an open position substantially parallel to and spaced from the sash and at substantially'right angles to l the frame 1. The sliding movement; of the pivoted edge of the screen frame is preferably limited by suitable means,

.suchv as the stop, screw 23 at the .free end of: each of the guides 22; The swingin'gedge of the screen may .be-"suitablyl held in? place when the screen is located between the inner weathering portions of closed as by means of the fasteners 24, which.

are adapted to overlap the vertically extending portion of the L-shaped portion 6 of the frame bar engageable by the free or swinging edge of with a frame, comprising bars having flanged the sash.

In the modification shown in Figure 5, the construction of the casement window is the same as previously described, but the .screen25, instead of being pivotally aflnd slidablycorinected to the casement window frame, is detachably connected thereto by the fasteners 26' at both side edgesoi' the screen, the construction being such thatby disengaging these fasteners from, the frame the screen may be removed upon opening of the sash by moving the screen outwardly.

Figure 6 discloses a modiflcation'of Figure 5 in which the frame 27 of the screen 28 is provided with. the yieldable weatheri-stripsfi29, which are the frame 30 and the sash 31. These weather trips are e erab y fle ible and o med of spring $1193. 6 n be f d Si Q. inte a w th h material forming the irame 27 of the screen.
